Andy Warhol - Brillo Box, 1964

Andy Warhol - Self Portrait, 1986 at the Brooklyn Museum’s Andy Warhol: The Last Decade

This imperfect show is also highly selective. Its 45 paintings represent around 1 percent of the more than 3,500 that the Andy Warhol Foundation estimates Warhol produced during his last decade. Still, the show floats a startling idea: Warhol made some of his best paintings during these years. Spurred by his sensitivity to criticism, by the example of younger painters he had influenced and perhaps by his own boredom, he became more fully himself as a painter, retrieving and expanding upon parts of his sensibility left behind in his rush to become Andy Warhol, Pop artist. -  Roberta Smith NYT
